SM's Top 100 GameBoy/GameBoy Color Games of All Time

Eventually. Although I did have a Genesis growing up, it always played second fiddle to my SNES, so back in the day, I only had about 30 games for it in total. Even now in my adulthood, fate still conspires against me with none of the local used game stores near me selling ANYTHING sega, with the reasoning "Sega games don't sell".
My only source for sega games are conventions I attend and ebay. As a result, I don't know the library nearly as much as I do other systems. I can talk about obscure gems like Zero Wing, Alisia Dragoon or the brilliance of the Micky Mouse platformer, but you guys deserve someone who can tell you about games you DON'T know, and as of right now, that's not me for Megadrive.
After the GB list is finished up, I can do GameBoy Advance, SNES, Xbox (1) and perhaps a few others. The next list will most likely be for GBA, as that's most logical.

Likewise here. I have to drive to the city (an hour + away) to visit a store that carries SEGA, and I can only justify that a few times a year (usually while I've got something else I need to head that direction for)

Anywa, I'd love to hear your thoughts on these games! I post these threads not only to inform you guys of my editorials, but to drum up discussion about them. Do you have nostalgic memories of exploring the caves of Cosmo Tank, or perhaps you think Wario Land 2 is more deserving of phrase than I give it credit for? The sprite animation does impress me quite a bit, but I still am sorta ho-hum about Wario Land 2. Whatever the case may be, let me know.

It's the other way around here in austria or maybe in europe in general. Mega Drive is everywhere and complete SNES games are hard to come by. Especially some PAL ones....

What about Sega Master System games? Are they easily found, complete? Such things are neigh impossible to spot in these parts. I've been thinking of building up a Master System collection since a US Master System will play 99% of PAL Master System games.
